WHY NOT.

It is observed that some of the news
papers affect to be startled by the an
nouncement that citizen of Washing
ton has been arrested for violation o.
the Edmunds-Tuckerl law, and justice
OF the peace before whom the case il
being heard has held that the law ap-
plies to the District of Columbia, as
well as to Utah, and other places over
which the United States have exclusive
jurisdiction. There is nothing in the
news which should surprise ANYBODY.
II may not have been the intention TO
have the act extend beyond Utah, but
if that were the design, why was the
reading such as to include the National
Capital and all the Territories7 Either
the men who drafted and voted for the
bill were ignorant of what they were
doing, or the men who are new aston
ished are asses. 1t cannot be that any
one will confess surprise that men in
Washington are guilty Of the immorsli-
ties sought to be comprised by this law.
The popular understanding has been
that Washington is not much
better than Sodom was when the Lord
offered to save the latter on such gen
erous terms. If the law were passed
in the interests of morality, as its advo-
Gates claim it to have been, why should
it not be made to apply to the citizens
of Washington, as well as to those of
Utah Or Montana2 Is there any rea-
son why adultery or fornication is less
an offense in Washington than in Salt
Lake, or why the adulterer living in
the shadow of the Capitol should not be
punished as severely as the adulterer
who dwells under the shadow of the
Wasatch mountains? The Edmunds
law of 1882 was an enactment against
certain feature of the Mormon faith and
practice; it did not profess to be law
in the interest of good morals, and the
courts could not find it in their hearts
to apply it to anybody except Nor
mons. But the Edmunds law of 1887
made profession of being an enact
ment for the protection of the public |
it assumed to deal with offense |
other than those sanctioned by the |
Mormon Church. With show of i'm
partially the law was made general on
its application, so far as it was possible
for Congress to pass a general law.
That one of the first prosecutions under
the act should occur in Washington,
ought to surprise nobody; that there
are not ten prosecutions in that city to
one in Utah is due to the fact that the
officials there are not so energetic and
persistent as those in this Territory
charged with the enforcement of the
statute. Our esteemed contemporaries
which are copfessing their astonish-
ment at theprosecution in Washington,
should read the law.

THE RESERVOIR PLAN.

So many and such horrible disa Sters
have followed the breaking of water
reservoirs, that our people experienced
g chill whenever a reservoir has been
suggested here. They have not stopped
to consider whether or not a reservoir
could be constructed in such a manner
snd so substantially that a break
would be among the improbabilities.
As other reservoirs have gone out,
causing great loss of life and vast de-
struction of property, it has at once
and generally been assumed that all
must go out, carrying death and de-
struction with them. We believe it is
possible to construct a reservoir in
City Creek Canyon which will be abso-
iutely free from the danger of break
ing. If this can be done it
will furnish a solution for the trouble
some water problem, and enable
Salt Lake City to prepare for the
season of growth and development
which is at our doors. If such a reser-
voir cannot be built, then We must de.
wise another scheme by which to sup
ply the constantly increasing demand
for water. The prejudice against the
reservoir plan has been so pronounced
that we doubt that an engineer has ever
given the matter any more than pass
Jag attention. Certainly no careful in
Yestigauon or examination has been
made by u competent engineer. Wis
dom and economy should suggest TO
the city authorities the propriety of
having the matter thoroughly aud eff
GENTLY inquired into. and if it can be
demonstrated 10 the satisfaction of
Intelligent men, that the
reservoir plan can be made safe, there
will be no further need for discussing
the water problem. Enough water runs
to waste from City Greek in one month
to supply the city for fully hall the
year If this water can be husbanded, |
held back in the mountains until Re
Quired. We will oe independent of the
Cotton woods and Utah Lake. aid the |
corporal will not have to bankrupt
itself.

en- To DEEP CREEK.

1t is understood that eastern capital
lists are corresponding with local par
ties with the view to the construction
of extensive concentration and amalga-
mating works in Deep Creek mining
district The works are to be located
at point which will be central to the
of the better lodges in the dis
trict. One hundred miles of railway
would at once develop Deep Greek, and
make it one of the richest mining dis
tricts in Utah. Not only that, but it
would make the prosperous and popu-
lous camp directly tributary to Salt
Lake City; its supplies would be OBJ
tanned here, its ores would be reduced
here, its banking would be done here,
its miners would spend their money
here and its mine owners would hold
their wealth in this city. thought to be
a small matter to build one hundred
miles OF railway across country, must
of which is as level as barn floor, and
no part CT which presents serious or ex-
pensive obstacles. Especially should it
be an easy matter to build such a road
when the investment promises such
bounteous returns. Once as far as
Deep Creek on the way to California, a
railroad direct from Salt Lake to the
Pacific would move along rapidly. The
first hundred miles will be the most
difficult of construction. After that
section has been built capitalists will
have confidence, and there will be no
further trouble to raise the necessary
money to continue the enterprise.

A BRILLIANT IDEA.

The. Farmers Alliance of Floy d
County, Indiana, is composed of very
amusing men. They are humorists, II
the horny handed tillers of the soil,
good, honest Sunday church goers can
be considered as ever indulgiDg in
humor. An eastern telegram in We'd
nesday's HERALD told how full of fun
these Floyd County farmers are. In
convention assembled they solemnly
resolved that there was nothing in the
Constitution and laws of this country
requiring the people of the United
States to pay their President $4,000 a
month while he was electioneering for
a second term. The farmers then
assumed that President Cleveland was
about TO enter upon an electioneering
tour, and they therefore, then and
there, demanded that before he sets out
to visit the south and west, he place
his resignation in the hands of the
proper officers of government. These
sturdy political grsngers, distrustful
OF the ordinary mails, ordered
the secretary to send the resolutions
by registered letter to the President,
and it is presumed they voted an
assessment to pay the registration fee
of ten cents. It is therefore reasonably
certain that Mr.. Cleveland will get
those resolutions, unless Dan Lamont
should sign for them and then carefully
tArow the package into the waste pa
per basket.
When one reads of such doings he
necessarily exclsins "What fools these
nortals be- and wonders what has be-
come of the fool killer. Doubtless those
silly farmers are as earnest in this mat
Ter as they are while stripping the potato |
bugs from their Vines, or haggling with |
the grocer over the price of dozen eggs
they have to sell. They really think |
they have done something which may
ave millions of the peoples money if it |
Toes not actually prevent the nation
rom going to the demnition bow-wows.
